Thanks for your brilliant insight.

Hear hear!

It amuses me how on many forums, columns, etc, people blame the conservatives and thatcher for ills, such as power outages caused by striking.

Those people are retarded. Striking and power outages were happening in 1970, well before the conservatives took the helm. Yes, it is a shame everything got privatised, but there wasnt really any other viable option as labour had failed over multiple times in government to rectify the issue and instead let it escalate.

As dodgyagent said, she kickstarted the private sector and enabled banks to make us richer than ever before. Without her, none of us would have the prosperity (work) we all enjoy or at least enjoy the money we get from it. She worked harder than any other PM and stood up to terrorists hell bent on destroying businesses and maming citizens.



The same problem is happening nowadays. In the press and in public forums, there are numerous people convinced the current conservatives caused the economic collapse and refuse to acknowledge labour's reign of terror under the mentally ill, foreign piece of filth aptly named Brown.

I am in my late twenties now.

That would mean you weren't born when Thatcher was elected. Leave the argument to the grown ups.

That would mean nobody could argue about anything that happened before they were born, which is obviously daft.

If you read what he wrote you can see it's half cobbled together rubbish. He has obviously not read up on the political and economic history. It's little more than half baked dogma rather than fact.

You'd better let all the historians in on this revelation.

As a retort to my post it doesn't really make any sense.

You can always rely on a Thatcher thread to bring out the Toryboy bleaters on here regurgitating their parents politics.

If anyone is more responsible for the tulip that we're in now it is that old witch for encouraging a selfish, money obsessed, I'm all right Jack society and business climate. True, New Labour sucked up to it as a way of grasping power but she started the whole thing off.

He's just upset because he's the same age.

Odd as there are some young people well versed in history and random subject.

How dare you, do you not realise it's All Saints Day tomorrow?
